Overview of UKL1J150MED – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 15 µF, 63 V, Radial Lead
The UKL1J150MED is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 15 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating. It is part of Nichicon’s UKL series, a low‑leakage family designed for applications that require compact polarized capacitance with defined ripple and endurance characteristics. The part is RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −40°C to 85°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 15 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 63 V.
- Low Loss / Low Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.07 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and a low leakage current of 1.89 µA.
- Ripple Handling — Low frequency ripple current rated at 100 mA (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current rated at 200 mA (10 kHz).
- Reliability & Endurance — Life/Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C with recovery to ambient conditions for verification.
- Mechanical / Packaging — Compact radial can: φ6.3 × 11 mm; lead spacing 2.5 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per supplied product data.
- Polarized Design — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for circuits requiring an electrolytic element.
Typical Applications
- Audio — Designed for audio electronic circuits where a compact 15 µF, 63 V polarized capacitor with low leakage and defined ripple handling is required.
- Compact Power Filtering — Suitable where space is limited and a small radial can capacitor is needed to meet decoupling or filtering requirements within the specified temperature and endurance limits.
- Consumer Electronics Subcircuits — Applicable to submodules that accept a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with the listed electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Unique Advantages
- Low Leakage Characteristic — Measured leakage current of 1.89 µA helps maintain circuit stability where leakage must be minimized.
- Controlled Dissipation Factor — tan δ of 0.07 at 20°C, 120 Hz supports predictable AC loss behavior in audio and low‑frequency applications.
- Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to 85°C operation, enabling use across a broad ambient range.
- Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable dense PCB placement in space‑constrained designs.
- Defined Ripple Performance — Separate low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (100 mA @120 Hz, 200 mA @10 kHz) allow designers to match component selection to expected ripple profiles.
- Regulated Endurance — 2000 hours at 85°C provides a clear baseline for lifetime expectations in thermally stressed applications.
